holy shit you freak me out csometimes..."Boris the Spider"? for real? i got Meaty Beaty Big & Bouncy when i was 11--just finally got it on cd last week. that song has been stuck in my head on and off for 35 years. and "Baba O'Riley" is my fave Who, too.

Aretha Franklin: Since You've Been Gone closely followed by "I Never Loved a Man (the Way I Love You)" for that tasty little guitar solo in the breakdown

Michael Jackson: Black or White

Joni Mitchell: Last Chance Texaco

Talking Heads: Life During Wartime

Dolly Parton: 9 to 5

White Stripes: Fell In Love With a Girl

Led Zepplin: Stairway to Heaven - I HAD to say this, OK? I have an album called "Stairways to Heaven" which has over 20 different artists doing versions of this song. Once you've heard a B52 cover band singing "hey lady, did you hear the wind blow and did you know your stairway lies on the whispering wind - whispering wind - whoooooooooo!!" well, it's life changing

Oh yeah. When I was too young to (legally)drive, QB used to drive her little sis and me around in her 73 Cutlass with that cassette blasting and the three of us singing at the top of our lungs. Good times.And I forgot A Case of You (shame on me!). I declare a Joni Mitchell substitution for Big Yellow Taxi,please!
